Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin didn't want to show his true colors, so he declined everyone's suggestion. Zheng Zong was familiar with the people in this area, so he called a car and planned to leave the stone with a friend first.

As soon as he loaded the stone into the car, his cell phone rang again. The owner of the Mu Na material he had discussed earlier agreed to sell it.

Zhao Qin followed him upstairs again and bought the piece of wood.

"I've been walking around for a long time and got nothing, but Aqin got a good harvest." One of the people traveling with him said jokingly.

"Old Gu, everyone knows that you are famous for being steady. Would you make a move if you are not 80% sure?"

The man called Lao Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My family business is small and can't withstand the big waves. If I had Ah Qin's ability, I would also buy a few pieces of Quan Meng material to try my luck."

"Okay, even if you are richer than Aqin, you won't have the courage." Lao Tong said jokingly.

"Let's go, deliver the stone first. We can't keep Mr. Tie waiting for too long."

There were three cars. The one carrying the stones went in the front, Qian Bijun followed in the car, and the remaining two cars were just big enough for them to sit.

Before they arrived at the friend's house that Mr. Zheng mentioned, Tie Juping called again. When they heard that they wanted to store stones, Lao Tie told them not to go through so much trouble and just bring the stones over, and he would make proper arrangements.

This was much more convenient. I drove straight to the hotel that my friend mentioned. From a distance, I saw him and a fat middle-aged man waiting at the door.

Zhao Qin and others got off the car and introduced themselves. The fat middle-aged man was called Huang Yuru, the president of the local jade association. Lao Tong knew him well and was also familiar with Mr. Zheng, who also started his business in Ruili.

"Let's go, let's talk inside."

Tie Juping said, motioning Zhao Qin to go first. The latter naturally gave way, and was eventually pulled by Lao Tie to walk into the yard.

The decoration inside is quite ethnic minority style.

After entering a large private room, there was another tug of war. Zhao Qin was the youngest and wanted to sit at the bottom, but he was dragged to the main seat by Lao Huang and Tie Jupingsheng.

"Today is a welcome party for you, we need to figure out the priorities." Tie Juping pushed him to sit down, then said with a smile,

It was said for Zhao Qin to hear, and also for everyone else.

"I've heard about what happened to Mr. Zhao in Jieyang. It's been difficult for me to meet you, but now I finally have the chance." Huang Yuru sat on his left, holding the kettle and was about to pour him water.

"Old Huang, Aqin doesn't care about clothes and housing. Even though he is young, he must eat and drink well. Is your tea okay?" Old Tong joked.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao knows a lot about tea. Do you like black tea or green tea?"

Zhao Qin smiled and waved his hand, "President Huang, don't be polite, any tea is fine."

"Well, Mr. Zhao is from Province M. You mainly drink green tea there." Old Huang called to the waiter, "Ask your boss to bring up a pot of Yunwu."

Zhao Qin felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention.

Tie Juping saw what he was thinking and changed the subject, "Aqin, how many stones did you buy this morning?"

"Three dollars. Fortunately, I followed Brother Zheng and Uncle Tong. You know, I know nothing about this business."

Old Zheng waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tie, we helped negotiate the price, but Ah Qin chose the stones himself. They are all from Yemuxi and they look pretty good."

"It will take some time for the food to be served. Do you have any small ones? Take one and let me see."

Zhao Qin asked Chen Xun to hand him the bag. Although the two were bodyguards, they were also sitting at the table, on both sides of General Zheng.

This was what Lao Tong and Lao Huang whispered about. They said that Zhao Qin was very good to his subordinates, and that the security guards he had led in Jieyang earlier all ate at the same table.

He took out the first small piece he bought from his bag and handed it to Tie Juping, "Uncle Tie, please help me take a look. I don't know anything about it, but I think this stone is pleasing to the eye and the price is not high, so I bought it."

Hearing that it cost more than a thousand yuan, Tie Juping did not take it lightly and asked for a flashlight to take a closer look.

After reading it, he handed it to Old Huang. When the latter finished reading it, he asked Huang Yuru first, "What do you think, President Huang?"

"It's a small piece with a lot of personality. Houjiang jade is generally thinner in skin, but this piece is not transparent. The price is not high, but it is worth playing with. Mr. Zhao really doesn't understand jade?"

"President Huang, I buy stones based on my taste. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I can't even tell the difference between the different sources."

Old Huang smiled calmly, "We can't tell the source of many stones at first glance, but if Mr. Zhao is into jade, I suggest you look at more clear materials."

Zhao Qin understood that the other party said this out of good intentions, because Mingliao was less likely to gamble, so it was not easy for him to fail and suffer big losses.

Tie Juping smiled and continued, "Jade is about knowledge, but the real game is luck. If someone else takes out this little stone, I would say there is a 60% chance that it can be cut and increased in value, and a 10% chance that it will develop color.

But this was bought by Ah Qin, so I think it won’t collapse, but maybe 30% of it will become colorful.”

Everyone was surprised, especially Old Huang, who couldn't understand why his old friend admired this young man so much.

To say that he was flattering was even more impossible. With Tie Juping's current reputation and status, many wealthy businessmen still asked him to help them. He was polite to everyone, but only a few actually responded to their requests.

This statement also aroused everyone's interest. Old Huang wanted to verify it, "Boss Zhao, how about peeling off the skin and taking a look?"

"Okay, President Huang, you won't charge me for processing fees, right?"

Old Huang laughed out loud, "It's just as my friend said. The price has increased. Mr. Zhao has to drink a few more glasses at noon."

Just at this moment, the boss came in with a pot of tea. Lao Huang handed the stone to him and said, "Go to Qing Cong's house across the street and ask him to peel the stone. Hold on tight and tell him I'm waiting here."

The boss responded, took the stone and left, and started serving the food after a while.

The local dishes tend to be sour and spicy, and Zhao Qin's stomach has already adapted to light food. To be honest, these dishes are a bit unpalatable. Spicy food is fine, but he can't get used to sour food.

There was a meatball soup that was very light, and he drank two or three bowls of it.

As they ate, drank and chatted, Huang heard that the last piece Zhao Qin bought was more than 70 kilograms of Mowanji. He could not help but sigh that young people are so brave.

When they heard that the stone had rolled in front of Zhao Qin, Huang Tie and the others were surprised. As long as it involved gambling, they would be more or less superstitious, and they all wanted to take a look at the material after dinner.

"When people seek wealth, it's small wealth. When wealth seeks people, it's big wealth. Who knows, that stone may contain a big surprise." Old Huang said, raising his glass and clinking it with Zhao Qin's.

Halfway through the banquet, the store owner pushed the door open and said, "President, the price has increased significantly."

Old Huang was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, "Quick, let me see how it's increasing."

He quickly wiped his hands with the towel beside him, took the stone and looked at it, and laughed after a while, "My friend, you really hit the nail on the head. It's so exciting."

Zhao Qin, who was sitting nearby, could also see it clearly, frowning slightly, "Uncle Tie, it looks like it has collapsed."

The small stone he saw still had a thin layer of stone skin retained. It was gray and extremely rough. It was nothing like the jade flesh that would be as smooth as water after being cut with a knife.

"The jade is small to begin with, and the jade inside is so fine, so when I was rubbing the skin, I was afraid of damaging the jade, so I left some skin color."

Tie Juping took the stone in his hand and turned on the flashlight. The originally black stone suddenly turned into a dark green light bulb, a very vivid green.

"Yang Lu."

"Oh my god, this stone is really green." Mr. Zheng looked incredible. When he first saw this small stone, he thought it was very cheap and even if he lost money, he wouldn't lose much.

No matter how good his idea was, he never expected to be able to cut out full green.
